Pros
Some talented peers at the individual contributor level * Opportunity to learn resilience quickly (you’ll need it)
Cons
Extreme micromanagement—little trust in employees to do their jobs * Lack of support from leadership; managers tend to protect themselves rather than enable their teams * Culture of throwing subordinates under the bus instead of coaching or developing talent * Clear favoritism in opportunities, recognition, and territory assignments * Constant shrinking or shifting of territories, making it difficult to build sustainable pipeline or long-term success * No clear go-to-market vision or consistent strategy from leadership * Unprofessional management behavior and inconsistent expectations * Poor work-life balance; high pressure with little regard for sustainability * Challenging environment for employees with families due to lack of flexibility and understanding
